Hot-take: Landlords are the scum of the Earth. Think you, a landlord, are above the law? You are less than scum, a parasite on society. I despise you. If you are a landlord or a landlord apologist, and think I'm being too harsh on landlords? Fuck you! All landlords are bastards (ALAB).

King's Speech had a line about "ensur[ing] mental health is given the same attention and focus as physical health" What attention to physical health??

Love living in constant fear that we'll get kicked out of our rental at the whim of a landlord. This is a very reasonable and not at all stressful and fucked way for 30% of the population to live.

Renters in British Columbia face the highest eviction rates in Canada, but it's through no fault of their own, according to a new report from researchers at the University of British Columbia.

UBC's Housing Research Collaborative found that B.C. continues to have the highest eviction rate in the country. Between 2016 and 2021, 10.5 per cent of renter households in B.C. reported being forced to move by their landlord, nearly double the 5.9 per cent national average.

Craig Jones, the co-author of the report, says B.C.'s elevated eviction rate is driven by higher rates of no-fault evictions, which involves tenants being forced to move so landlords can sell, renovate, demolish or move into the unit.

About nine per cent of renters experienced a no-fault eviction in B.C. between 2016 and 2021, compared to 4 per cent nationally.

ok I know everyone complains emails but there is no greater joy in my life than emailing somewhere that's been like "hey >:( why haven't you done this >:(" and being able to be like "oh actually, I called up ^_^ turns out that I couldn't do it because you fucked up! that's ok, I've gone out of my way to remedy this problem. let me know if there's anything else I can do to help in future!" it's cathartic. after they've fucked me over so much already? yeah. it feels great.

Sometimes I’m like oh, no, I’m just being dramatic when I fantasize about changing my name, moving away, and cutting all contact with my family, and then I’ll come home from work, be bitched at for four separate things in the span of an hour, and have to quietly remove myself from the room because I’ve started crying because my dad was slamming things and getting angry.
